Personal Whining about SSLeay Documentation

Well, it's the new year, and so once again I have resolved to get some work done on this documentation. I'd really better get it done this time because I just discovered that www.openssl.org has a pointer to them. Urk!

Note that my emphasis has been on getting the libcrypto routines documented; enough people are using the SSL-level routines that it seems folks can get by without documentation. *I* certainly have. And besides there is the ssl-users mailing list, archived in Germany (I find that the more reliable one), where practically everybody's SSL-related questions have already been answered.

Not all of these files are in nice html. In particular, some of the files that are derived (read: copied) from the docs that came with the *SSLeay 0.6.6* distribution have a <pre> wrapper around them until I get to them. Yes, that's 0.6.6. *Sigh*

Some areas are completely undocumented (no docs provided with the distribution and I haven't gotten to writing any).

So this is year three of writing these docs... I wonder how many versions behind I can fall this year?

You will notice as you peruse these documents many typos but besides that also many places where documents have not been written and instead there is a plaintive plea for help. I know you must have some idle time on your hands or you wouldn't be reading this. So why not write a page? Hey, just one wouldn't take *that* long. You can even look at this template if you don't want to just steal some other page to work from.
